~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CTMH has Brought BACK one of our  FAVORITE paper packs from our past!!  Please welcome the "White Pines" collection.   This suite now includes a GORGEOUS 12x12 sticker sheet, the colors are updated to our current color palette AND there are TWO new Workshops available too! (Scrapbooking & Cardmaking!) 

Today, I chose to do "my own thing" ...and created this Christmas card with this collection.  Let's take a look at it today!. 🤩 

I pulled out my Make It From Your Heart how-to book....and used Volume 4, pattern #15 for this card design.  

I REALLY like the blue/tans in this collection & decided to make that be my main focus. So fun!! 

I also chose to use one of the Stamp sets that were a part of this kit in the past---it's called "White Pines - Cardmaking"

I love the wording & the script used for these stamp sets--so pretty!

 Check out how you only need to ink up PART of the stamp, to make a long sentiment shorter, and put them in multiple lines! 😉

I LOVED the trees in this stamp set---and realized I didn't NEED to use the trunks of the tree for the card! They look PERFECT, by just cutting off the trunks of the trees and have them look like Evergreens! 🌲

There are so MANY beautiful stamp images in this stamp set---the bough of greens being one of them!  Any ideas what I used to create the blue berries?? 

Our Liquid Pearls ---in Robin Egg Blue! 

The final touches I chose to add were ---  Gold Glitter Gems, Glitter paper & Embellishing Thread. ✨✨

Thanks so much for stopping by today! :) 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Gina's Blog to see her beautiful creation!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Here is a look at this month's EXCLUSIVE stamp set!! 💗

What a lovely stamp set! I decided to create a card with this set---although I think a "new home" scrapbook page would be PERFECT for this collection! 

Here's the card I created for today's hop. 

Did you know you could take a Scrapbook Layout Sketch, and create a CARD by downsizing the design?😮😉
That's how I chose to create today & I'm excited about the results!!

II was INSPIRED by a Scrapbook Layout I saw in our Make It From Your Heart vol 5, How-to book! Check it out! 

If you haven't heard ---TODAY --July 1st is the RELEASE of our BRAND NEW, July/August 2021 mini catalog at Close To My Heart!

Each new mini-book release has a GORGEOUS Mix-In paper collection.  For some reason, I am ALWAYS drawn to these papers 😉, and this catalog was no exception! 

Take a look at the July/August Mix-In paper collection! 

This set includes 6 sheets of paper, but has 12 different designs! Look at these GORGEOUS papers!! I used 4 of these designs and love how you can use this pack on its own---OR---"Mix-in" these papers with the other TWO NEW Paper suites in this NEW catalog! (Wander & Isabella)😍💗 

Take a close-up look at the paper designs in this collection---so pretty!! 

I also used some Gold Glitter paper, cut in 1/4 inch strips, to pull in those gold tones. 

The Stitched Fancy Bracket was the perfect size to accommodate that house image....I love when it works out that way! 

I used Mink ink for the house image and then sponged the edges with our Sapphire ink. 

The finishing touches were adding some gold glitter gems and Gold Embellishing thread...lovely! 

Thanks for stopping by today! 😍🙌
